Chapter 2- Team Drinks
Tanya met Jo, Sam, Phil and Stuart at the pub at 7:30 that evening. She saw that they'd got a table over to them. 'Tanya!' Sam said as she approached. 'What do you want to drink?'
'No, I'll get these,' Tanya replied. 'What's everyone having?'
Everyone put in their orders and Tanya went to the bar. 'I'll give her a hand,' Sam said as she got up and went over to help Tanya with the drinks.
'Hows your first day been then?' Sam asked.
'Yeah, it's been OK, everyone seems nice enough,' Tanya replied.
'Stuart told me, about you two being together,' Sam said. 'Why didn't you tell me?'
'Because I didn't think it was relevant. We were only together for 6months and I just thought I'd better off forgetting about him,'
'That's something we've got in common,' Sam said as she looked at Stuart, who was talking to Jo.
Tanya followed Sam's gaze and looked at Stuart. 'You mean you and him…' she trailed off.
Sam looked at Tanya and nodded. 'He arrived at Sun Hill over a year ago and we got together about two months later. It got pretty serious, we even moved in together,' she said.
'What happened?'
'I discovered I was pregnant with his child but he wasn't interested in having children just yet. I miscarried a few weeks later and we split up not long afterwards,'
Tanya looked at Sam before she spoke, 'that must have been hard for you, having to accept that he didn't want the baby, did you want it?' she asked.
Sam shrugged her shoulders, 'I didn't know what I wanted until I lost the baby, I was devastated by the miscarriage because deep down, I knew that I wanted to keep the baby,' she said, tears beginning to well up in her eyes. She still found it difficult to talk about the baby, despite it being nearly 9months since the miscarriage.
'Hey Sam, it's OK,' Tanya said as she put her arms around Sam.
Sam leant into her. Tanya was so strong and Sam couldn't imagine anything like that happening to her, then again, this time last year, Sam didn't think that would happen her either.
The barmaid put the drinks on the bar and Tanya handed over the money and Sam took her G and T and Jo's vodka and coke. Tanya brought Phil and Stuart's beers and her white wine over on a tray. She placed the tray down and Phil and Stuart took their beers. 'Well, lets propose a toast, welcome to Sun Hill Tanya,' Jo said.
Tanya smiled at everyone as their glasses. Her eyes lingered on Phil for a while longer than everyone else. Stuart brought the second round and after that, he decided to call it a night. 'I'll see you tomorrow guys,' Stuart said as he stood up to put his coat on.
He didn't wait for an answer from any of the others, he opened the door to the pub and left. Jo went off to the toilet and Sam went off to the bar to buy another round of drinks, leaving Phil and Tanya on their own. He smiled at Tanya as he took in her appearance. She was wearing a pair of jeans, heels and a pale pink halter-neck top, 'you look nice,' Phil said after moments silence.
'Thanks,' Tanya replied as she took a sip from her glass. 'You don't too bad yourself.'
Phil smiled at Tanya; he knew that they'd get on well. How well they'd get on remained to be seen. Sam brought the third round of drinks over to them. After the third round, Tanya decided to call it a night, 'I'd better be going, she said as she stood up.
'I'll see you tomorrow,' Sam said.
Tanya smiled at Sam as she opened the door to the pub and left. Jo stood up, 'you up for another Phil?' she asked.
'No thanks Jo, I'd better be off,' Phil replied. 'I'll see you tomorrow.'
Jo and Sam smiled at Phil as he walked out of the pub. He stepped outside and saw Tanya stood outside. 'You Ok?' Phil asked.
Tanya nodded, 'you?' she replied.
'Yeah, not too bad,' Phil said. 'Are you walking?'
'Yeah,'
'Do you mind if I walk with you?'
Tanya shook her head and she smiled at Phil as they both began to walk. 'You know what Jo said earlier,' Tanya said.
Phil nodded, 'I don't think you're as bad Jo made out,'
'Don't you?'
'No, personally I think there's more to you than meets the eye,'
Phil smiled at Tanya as she spoke. She was the first woman who hadn't judged him by his past reputation, partly because she didn't know anything about his past. He'd changed because he thought he might have a chance with Sam. That chance had finally arrived in Romania but he blew it. Deep down, he still loved Sam and it was no good waiting for a second chance that might never come. Maybe it was time to forget about Sam and look to the future.
'Phil?' Tanya said as she waved a hand in front of his face.
'Sorry Tanya,' Phil replied, snapping out of his reverie. 'Listen I was wondering…do you fancy going out for dinner tomorrow night?'
Tanya met Phil's eyes and smiled. 'I'd like that Phil, thank you,' she said.
They walked to the end of the road and they stopped, 'well, this is where I leave you,' Phil said.
'I'll see you tomorrow,' Tanya replied and kissed Phil softly on the cheek.
She pulled away and gazed into Phil's eyes. 'I'll see you tomorrow,' Phil said as he turned left and walked down the street.
Tanya watched until Phil disappeared from view. She turned right and began to walk towards her house, thinking about what had happened with Phil. 'It's not just the dinner I'd fancy,' Tanya thought as she put the key into the lock. The door opened and she closed it behind her.
